A new report claims that you will come across an average of 5 litter items for every single step you take along your local beach in Northern Ireland. A survey of of our beaches by environmental charity 'Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful' found there were on average 528 litter items found on Northern Ireland's coastline every 100 metres. The report comes a week after another survey showed 1 in 7 of our streets and parks failed to meet the accepted standard for litter last year - despite councils here spending a total of £43 million on cleansing during 2015-16. So what does this say about our attitudes to litter, what is it like where you live? Just how dirty are we? Vinny spoke to Ian Humphreys from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful and commentator Brendan Mulgrew.
